Hi, I have an opportunity to purchase 1200 Intel Pentium Pro chips for £18,000, as I understand from this forum I should be able to recover at least 1 kg of gold (ideally 1.2kg), is this the case?

Or $28.14 US. Which is about what they sell for here on Ebay.I don't believe you will have a large profit margin at that price,in fact,I would not touch them at that price,but that is just me.However if you do buy them,and you are satisfied with the yield results,then you should have no problem finding plenty more at that price on ebay.glondor said:

Be also aware that they don't yield 1.1g of gold per cpu as wiki states. It's more like .5g/cpu; at least, that's all I've gotten out of them each time.
Maybe if I grind them to dust then I would get the rest. I've saved the ceramics for future grinding.

I don't think you learned those numbers from this forum. Maybe you have seen numbers like that on spreadsheets on this forum that were posted here from other sites. If you look at what members here have actually yielded from those, the numbers will be quite different. You should buy one Intel Pentium Pro chip and refine it yourself to see what the yield will actually be, before you invest a large amount of money into buying a lot of them.

Claudie is right.
I bought a total of 60 P/Pro's some months ago, paid between $23.00 to $28.00 USD per ea., & decided to run 2 to verify the yield. To my surprise I recovered 1g from 2 P/Pro's. When I processed the rest, the ones shown in the pic, I was very disappointed... :roll:
Needless to say, I stopped buying them from e-bay.

The first link you posted,showed up on our forum in 07' or 08'.....and is not even close to being accurate.Since then the same document has can be found in many places on the internet.No one on the forum knows its origin,but several of us would like to "talk" to its creator.If you buy something for the same price that thrifty bits pays,then you are guaranteed to make a hefty profit.I am not aware of too many buyers that pay as low as thrifty bits does.
But I give you my word,in my years of processing I have never recovered,or known/taught anyone that recovered, 1 gram of gold from a single pentium pr
ne of our mods did a control on one and if memory serves he extracted .3 gram,not including the gold within the substrate(ceramic).You are going to want to read this http://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=62&p=52836&hilit=pro+yield#p52836
